1. WINCH ROPE
How to install a Miolle Synthetic Winch Rope
- 1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery that is used to power the winch
- 2. Insert the synthetic rope through the fairlead and around the winch drum from the bottom and tighten the retaining bolt
- 3. Ensure the metal sheath does not protrude from the drum surface and that the rope is held into place tightly.
- 4. Reconnect negative cable to the battery that is used to power the winch.
- 5. Turn the clutch lever on the winch to the “Engaged” position.
- 6. Wind 5 wraps of rope onto the drum while applying light tension on the rope.
- Always wind the winch rope on bottom (mount side) of drum.
It’s important to emphasize the fact that personal Recovery Gear is used only for certain situations. The use of licensed tow service will always be your best option.
How to use a Miolle Winch Line
- 1. Access the situation from all angles before beginning to winch.
- 2. Stop, slow down, think through all of your recovery options.
- 3. Determine who is responsible for winching, rigging, and being recovered.
- 4. Understand your equipment and use the safest methods possible when extracting a vehicle.
- 5. Recognize nearby danger zones before using a winch.
- 6. Wear heavy-duty gloves during the recovery process. They’ll save your hands from rope burn when using synthetic rope.
- 7. Put some weight on the line using a winch damper, heavy backpack, or thick jacket on each winch line before winching. It’ll help force the line down toward the ground if the rope were to break.
- 8. If the winch line is under tension, meaning it’s taut and ready to pull or is already pulling, never step over it.
- 9. If you’re winching a vehicle out of harm’s way, operate it from a safe distance or with you behind your vehicle’s open door or inside the vehicle itself.
- 10. Stop winching when your vehicle reaches the stable ground. When you reach the stable ground, your vehicle will be flat and you won’t need the winch to drive forward. Switch off the winch remote control and press the gas pedal to check if you’re able to drive forward without the winch.
2. TOW STRAPS
Minimum breaking strength of the strap should be between 3 – 4 times of gross vehicle mass (GVM) of any vehicle it is used with. This strap must be suited to the GVM of lighter of the 2 vehicles used in the recovery process.
- Never exceed the working load limit of the tow strap.
- Inspect your rigging immediately before you head out off-roading, replace all damaged, frayed or cut strap.
- Never use this strap as a lifting sling or snatching device. Serious injury or death can occur if used incorrectly.
- Keep gear away from sharp edges, chemicals and temperatures exceeding 190 F.
- Never hook strap around a hitch ball for towing or recovery. The hitch ball can break and may cause serious injury or death.
- Keep spectators out of the tow/recovery zone.
How to use a Miolle recovery tow strap kit
- Take the strap and lay it flat on the ground. Make sure it is not twisted, folded or damaged.
- Insert one Strap loop end through D-ring Shackle.
- Attach first shackle with the strap to the rear anchor point of the pulling vehicle.
- Attach the other shackle and strap end to the front anchor point of the vehicle that will be towed.
- Once both ends are secured, the driver of both vehicles can get behind the wheel. The pulling vehicle can slowly move forward to straighten the strap to its full extent.
- The pulling vehicle can continue at a slow, safe speed to the nearby destination.
Do not attach the shackles to the bumpers itself as it might not be able to withstand the pressure and can cause damage, injury or death. If you cannot locate the exact mount to place the hook then please refer to the owner’s manual.
It’s important to emphasize the fact that recovery tow straps are used only for certain situations. The use of tow trucks will always be your best option.
3. RECOVERY ROPE
Minimum breaking strength of the recovery equipment should be between 3 – 4 times of gross vehicle mass (GVM) of any vehicle it is used with. This rope must be suited to the GVM of lighter of the 2 vehicles used in the recovery process.

- Keep gear away from sharp edges, chemicals and temperatures exceeding 300 F.
- Never attach the rope or shackles around a hitch ball for towing or recovery. The hitch ball can break and may cause serious injury or death.
- Keep spectators out of the recovery zone.
- Do not pull in a direction that would side load your recovery points unless they are specifically designed to handle side loads - most are not and improper side loading can lead to recovery point failure and/or rolling of the stuck vehicle.
How to use a Miolle Recovery Kit
Verify your equipment is adequate for the use and In good condition. A Kinetic Recovery Rope should be sizes such that the Minimum Tensile Strength (MTS) or Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) is roughly 3 times the Gross Vehicle Mass of the vehicle conducting the recovery. To properly select a rope for your vehicle, follow the guidelines on the chart below:
- Step 1: Remove any obstructions from the path of the stuck vehicle, so that it has a clear way out of the stuck condition.
- Step 2: Securely attach rope to both vehicles - use a proper shackle and attach point. Recovery points should be properly welded or bolted to the vehicle chassis.
- Step 3: Tow the stuck vehicle out. The pulling vehicle can continue at a slow, safe speed no more than 5mph. The stuck vehicle should be driven, as this provides additional traction amid the recovery effort, and also allows for directional control once the stuck vehicle begins to move. The recovering vehicle should continue to pull on the stuck vehicle until no longer stuck.
Do not attach the shackles to the bumpers itself as it might not be able to withstand the pressure and can cause damage, injury or death. If you cannot locate the exact mount to place the hook then please refer to the owner’s manual.
